As far as trading down? Yes. Would go back as far as the value permitted. If I can flip a 3 into a mid to late 1 while securing an additional 2 or 3 and future picks I am taking it.

Trading back would still leave you a shot at a WR or TE that could be dynamic enough to alter your approach offensively.

If no trades come up I am taking Jordan Davis or Aidan Hutchinson if they're on the board.

I would trade up late on draft night to steal a WR or TE though if possible with a fair price on the table. McBride at TE, Dotson at WR and London at WR are worth coming back up for IMHO before day two kicks off.

If they were able to land a solid player or two, even familiar faces, i.e Allen Robinson at WR, Calais Campbell at DE along with maybe Mike Williams at WR or Chris Godwin at WR you could maybe lower the importance a bit.

However, regardless if Meyer or Baalke are here in April or if it's a new overhaul. Given Khan's history of ridiculous patience with medicore results though I will assume nothing changes.

Ultimately. They must add pieces around Lawrence. Call Bill Polian for advice. Something. Anything. But they have to be all in for Lawrence.

Now I've seen Burks twice...vs. Texas A & M and just this past weekend.  Though he is not known for speed, he seemed to have no problem getting deep separation against A & M, and showed a great deal of toughness against Missouri.

Ross would seem to be a natural target, especially considering he has experience with TL, but I worry about his injury.

Thinking about trading up further, we have a billion 6th round picks.  I should hope we move up at some point in the draft.

Ross scares me to death. He's had so many injuries and missed so many games, it just seems like a huge red flag. Especially the neck injury. After that one, it was speculated that he may never play football again, but miraculously he did. Now he's looking at another season ending foot injury. The worst thing we could do is draft a WR within the first 3 rounds and then have that guy never see the field, because he is hurt all the time. It's too bad Lawrence really didn't have a "go to" receiver in college. He was known for spreading the ball around.
